JUNE THE OICI H I 1921 ROBERT J. McCOLLUM Football Squad 3. Bob is a familiar sight at all school activities and at Chacona’s. He is always “game” when anything is started, not to mention the things he starts. He is a little higher than the rest of us when he is at home on Hasson Heights, but at school he is always on the level. RUTH JANE E. McMAHON. Rather nice, don’t you think? But she is hard to strike up an acquaintance with. Ruth is a girl who does not need to resort to giggling, loud “I’ll says” and the like to attract attention. Her quiet charm and rich personality do all that for her. It has never been our luck to diaw a c'ass in which she was included, worse luck and for that if nothing else, we feel neglected by kin1, fate, kind foitune, or whatever it is. PAUL O. MESSNER. Messner dearly loves to motor on the street cars, and he likes to ring the bell. When a Franklin car falls to Messner, a real honest-to-heavens interur-ban, his cup of jcy will overflow. Paul lias worked his way for the last two years, going to school too, so we think that graduation will mean something to him besides flowers, robes, and diplomas. WILLIAM FORSTER MILLER, JR. “Skin” Miller’s chief claim to high notoriety is the fact that he has the best trained hair on record. The boy’s secret was revealed one fine morning when we saw him invest his last dollar in a large bottle of Bandoline. All the same Bill is in our good graces as of yore. He is a thirty-six inch fellow—a yard wide, you know, and his friendship is worth a hundred common ones. rage Twenty-Three

JUNE THE O I C I H I 1921 JAMES WILSON LEE Assistant Editor of OiCiHi 4. The editor’s right hand man, also his left. When anyone wanted J. Wilson to do anything, he always stopped and “speeled” all the things he already had to do, but he usually did what he was asked. A lot of his “business” seems to have been attending Sunday School Conferences. Knowing Willie we suspect that the girls at the conferences had something to do with that. Personally, we think that he could get away with anything. He says he is going to get away with some more education for he admits that there might be a little more he could learn. PAUL V. LEYDA Student Treasurer O. C. H. S. A. A. 4. This good natured giant cats work. He carried six subjects last year besides being “in” a lot more activities than is shown above. He helped on the OiCiHi, although he was not on the staff, selling it, contributing and getting ads. He is six foot two inches after he has had a hair cut and has a good disposition, lots of friends, and a girl in Kane. RUTH LEYDA. Ruth is another one of the kinda shy ones, but if you ever watched her closely you could have seen her work her eyes. Oh, My-------! Also kinda athletic cause she plays basketball a little. RICHARD ISEMAN MAHLE. “Say, who is that bright-looking chap over therel” we heard one of the teachers ask the day school started. “Oh, that’s Mahle, Richard Mahle.” Before the year was over, the “prof” had occasion to wonder if Mahle wasn’t a little too bright. He is a good sort, however, and his bright and smiling face will be missed when the “gang” collects on the church steps to talk about the weather. Page Twenty-Two

JUNE THE O ICI H I 1921 MARGARET KATHRYN MORGAN. “Mag showed the boys” how an ankle watch should bo worn when she was in “Nothing But the Truth.” We have b en wondering ever since, who had the job of adjusting it. Margaret confides in us that she has “hopes” of getting married. So ends our tale. DOROTHY IRENE MEYERS. S meono has to maintain the school’s record in : cholai hip as well as in athletics. This Dorothy has done for us for four years. She lik d English better than anything else and we did like to hear her give these interesting “orals” on Thursday's. While she didn’t reform evcjyone in school, perhaps her efforts v.ere not entirely wasted. CECELIA ELIZABETH NICHOLS Cecelia is a remarkable girl. In the first p'ace she is the champion left-hander of the class. She is a much better penman than most cf us who wilte with our right hand. In the second place she’s a fine housekeeper, I’ve heard. That ought to help “someone decide for her.” GEORGE AUGUSTUS OLMES. At the sign of “Ye Jolly Tailor,” we have often found George and be expects to be there for some time. He says that he and brother “Majc” are go-irg to expand the business, not the chest, so that it includes ladies’ tailoring as well as the particular man’s. Ever since this announcement George has bee n so busily engaged in turning away would-be tape-line swingers that he hasn’t any t’mo to draw those seductive squawks out of h’s clarinet. George could talk a blind man into thinking that be was seeing things, so we feel sure that he will be able to persuad the old girls that they still have a wonderful figure. I’age Twenty-Four
